US suspends Microsoft and other tech firms from PERM green card program following Vance's claims
Senator J.D. Vance announced that the U.S. government has suspended Microsoft and other major technology companies, including Adobe, from the Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) system. This program allows employers to sponsor H-1B visa holders for permanent residency green cards. Vance cited concerns about alleged H-1B fraud as the reason for the suspension, framing it as part of a broader "foreign worker crackdown." While multiple outlets report Vance's statement, the suspension itself and the specific reasons beyond Vance's claims are not independently confirmed by government sources in these articles. The reports indicate this action is part of a broader "foreign worker crackdown."
